Provides support for dialogs.
<h2>
Package Specification</h2>
A dialog is a specialized window, typically consisting of a dialog area
and a button bar, designed for narrow-focussed communication with the user.
<p>The dialog framework consists of an abstract base class (<code>Dialog</code>),
along with more concrete dialog subclasses for displaying messages (<code>MessageDialog</code>),
soliciting text input (<code>InputDialog</code>), and displaying progress during
a long-running operation (<code>ProgressMonitorDialog</code>).
<p>Dialog stores (<code>IDialogStore</code>, <code>DialogStore</code>) provide
a general framework for organizing a dialog's settings into key/value pairs.
Multi-page dialogs are made easier through the use of dialog pages (<code>IDialogPage</code>,
<code>DialogPage</code>).
<p>Note: None of the classes in this package maintain global state.
